For this week’s topical photography project our picture editors would like you to share photographs that illustrate solidarity.

Perhaps you recently attended your first protest or march, or captured a moment which made your feel a sense of unity. We’re interested in images that are literal or conceptual, so if you want to interpret this project creatively, we’re open to that.

Our picture editors will publish a gallery of some of their favourite images and share with you what they admire about the photographs they’ve chosen, and some of the skills necessary to develop as a photographer. You have until 9am on Monday 22 May to upload your images and we will publish the gallery on Tuesday 23 May and set our next theme on the same day.

Southern Rail guards on the picket line at Brighton, Wednesday 12th October 2016. During the longest rail strike in a generation the guards stand together showing the joy of solidarity in the face of of government, company and media attacks.

A new law intrduced and passed into legislation by the Hungarian government within days means that a key Budapest institution, the Central European University, would be forced to move or close down. Tens of thousands of people gathered to protest - not only the students and staff from what is an elite international university - but also Hungarians who are tired of the authoritarian and corrupt government, and angry at this blatant attack on academic freedom. International support for the university is absolute - and includes the American State Department, the EU, Nobel Laureates, hundreds of writers and artists, as well as many Hungarians who are otherwise government supporters.
